From our Year 1's battling it out into 1st, 2nd, and 4th place in their heats of the 300 metres long run, to excelling in their sprint rounds. We even had a throw of the day from Theo in Year 2 who managed an incredible 60 meters throw. Flynn and Eric were mentioned as having run especially fast rounds of 300m managing 2nd and 1st place respectively. As Flynn said; it was neck and neck. Also impressive, we finished all the events we took part in showing real grit and determination despite a pretty hot day. Quad Kids: we couldn't be prouder of you!!
